With the decreasing cost of prototyping, it’s now more feasible for professional Makers and first-time entrepreneurs to develop a hardware startup. But how exactly do you go about it? This book provides the roadmap and best practices you need for turning a product idea into a full-fledged business.
Featuring real-world case studies with experts from the field—from pre-prototype to shipping, and business idea to incorporated company—this book illustrates successes and failures at every stage of a hardware startup. There are plenty of resources to help you build a software startup, but the same ecosystem doesn’t yet exist for starting a hardware company. The Hardware Startup provides the answers you need to get going.
